Key Takeaways:

E-Z WINGS is a new app introduced to streamline the process for Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs) and Designated Pilot Examiners (DPEs) to validate pilot flight activities for the FAA's WINGS proficiency program.
The app simplifies what was previously a non-user-friendly and time-consuming process on the FAASTeam website, allowing credits for activities like flight reviews or check rides to be issued quickly via smartphone or tablet.
By making credit issuance easier and faster, E-Z WINGS aims to encourage greater participation in the WINGS program, ultimately enhancing aviation safety and pilot proficiency.

Nobody likes to spend hours on a website—even when it’s in the name of improving aviation safety. If you’ve ever navigated the FAA’s SafetyTeam (FAASTeam) website, you know what I mean.

Now, there’s an easier way to navigate the system using an app called E-Z WINGS. The Wings Industry Network, a group created to promote aviation safety, introduced the app to the flight instructor community during EAA AirVenture last week in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
